Focus on the Here and Now

Will I drink tomorrow? Possibly.

Will I drink today? No.

None of us can know what the future is going to hold. All we can do is deal with the here and now. That is why sobriety must be examined in the here and now.

Do not drink in this moment right now and let the next moment wait it’s turn. Soon you will find that many moments have passed.

Don’t worry about the future, concentrate on getting through the now and you will be better prepared when the future comes.
